[PATCH xserver] xwayland: Don't process cursor warping without an xwl_seat

Unfortunately, on my machine Xwayland immediately crashes when I try to
start it. gdb backtrace:

This appears to be the result of xwl_cursor_confined_to() and
xwl_screen_get_default_seat(). xwl_cursor_confined_to() can be called
very on during the Xwayland init sequence, well before any seat has
actually been created for the server. However, this function doesn't
make an attempt to actually check for whether or not there's currently
a seat available, and just eagerly assumes that
xwl_screen_get_default_seat() will always return a valid seat.
Unfortunately, before an xwl_seat is actually initialized the xorg_list
will be in a fresh state with no members in it, e.g. list->prev ==
list->next == &list. Since xwl_screen_get_default_seat() doesn't actually check
whether or not the seat list is empty, this causes us to end up
returning a pointer to &list instead of an actual xwl_seat struct, which
subsequently causes us to crash.

So, actually return NULL in xwl_screen_get_default_seat() if the seat
list is empty, and skip any pointer confinement processing in
xwl_cursor_confined_to() when we don't have a seat setup yet.

Just a quick note!!! I haven't actually tested at all whether or not
this breaks cursor confinement, if you have any demo applications I use
to easily do this please let me know. I have at least, tested that this
lets me start Xwayland again :).
